Toshiba laptop black screen with flashing cursor

[mongii]

Hi!

my Toshiba Laptop can't boot in safe mode, can't boot regularly, cant get into windows. after the toshiba logo at the start, it just leads to a black screen with a flashing cursor. someone please help me.

laptop is a toshiba m305-s4910

OS: windows vista home premium

Tried the hardware recovery thing, which is: press and hold 0, then press the power button, then tap 0 when Toshiba logo starts. That does not work.

Tried pressing F8 to enter safe mode, that does not work either.

both of these things that i tried just leads to a black screen with a " _ " line that flashes at the upper left corner of the screen.
and when i press a button it "beeps" annoyingly.

what do i do know?

thanks in advance!

i sent u a email did u get it and fix the issue?

 

[bellomycr]

Do NOT post email addresses on the forum. And when using someone's tool that they have put many years into, link their site please. No direct links to a mirror.

the reason i posted the mirror is bc the exe file that had was bad and i dont know if they have fixed it yet sorry for trying to help people

it is easyer sometimes to be able to walk people though this on instant messanger systems then posting on here sorry didnt know that i broke a rule by posting my on email.

Feel free to exchange any personal info you like in private messages, but posting such in a thread is a very bad idea and is not allowed so as to protect YOU. And before you say you'll risk it, remember that you are also setting an example. That's why we will remove personal info whenever we see it, and perhaps even do more if that doesn't work.

Most if not all bellomycr's posts to Tom's are in this one thread and on this single issue. Perhaps he or she should post a definitive answer and prevent this necro thread being dragged up every year for the next ten. It is also quite with Forum Rules to publish his e-mail address as part of his Member Website in his Profile. Those of us who do presumably risk being sold to Spammers but speaking personally, I don't see any increase is Spam since joining Tom's nearly two years ago.

Will it be as simple as running fixboot, fixmbr or bootrec?
